Eldon is a village in County Durham, England. It is situated a few miles southwest of Bishop Auckland, and a short distance from Shildon. (Source: Wikipedia)
Eldon was originally a township in the ancient parish of Auckland St. Andrew in County Durham. It became a separate civil parish in 1866. From 1894 it was part of Auckland Rural District. In 1937 it was abolished and absorbed into Shildon. Between 1974 and 2009 it became part of the larger Sedgefield non-metropolitan district. Since 2009 County Durham has been a unitary authority.
